The food, service and ambiance are the best on Vancouver Island- and that’s saying something given the quality of restaurants here. A true “hidden gem”. I highly recommend the resort and the restaurant.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas! Food consistently good. Starter salad dressing was very nice! Tuscan Table menu is a favourite of mine to select. Parking is always a concern but dining early helps. Lamb was tender. Flavour was safe - maybe more spice to enhance the flavour of lamb? Mashed potatoes was firm. More butter and cream might make it more melt in your mouth. Food was Consistent but not a Wow factor.
